What is a damp proof course?

A damp proof course is the installation of a barrier to prevent water ingress and rising damp problems in properties. Most building in the UK since the 1920’s have been constructed with an in-built damp proof course, typically a layer of some form of slate or damp proof membrane near the bottom of the structure.

However, these original damp proof courses are susceptible to age and deterioration and can fail resulting in the home taking on moisture and suffering from damp conditions.

We specialise in the installation of remedial damp proof courses, particularly through the damp proof injection method. This is a time-proven, effective and effective fast acting damp treatment that involves injecting a damp proofing solution into the walls at the lower level of the property.
